The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has launched an investigation into the rate schedules of several renewable energy companies, including Altavista Solar and Wind LLCs, to determine if their rates are fair and lawful. This investigation is conducted under section 206 of the Federal Power Act. The effective date for refunds depends on when this notice is published in the Federal Register. Interested parties have 21 days to request to intervene in this matter by following the guidelines provided by FERC.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to check if some companies that make energy from the sun and wind are charging fair prices. They will also decide if these companies have to give money back, and people who want to say something about it have to do so within three weeks.
